How do I get 'ROOT'
Everybody says, you gotta have root and RC30. I have RC30, but I have no idea what getting 'root' is. Can someone tell me how to get root??

You have to have root, and THEN get rc30, not the other way around. Now you're on phone lockdown haha.

Re: How do I get 'ROOT'
root is access to the lower levels of the phone's OS. It was locked down due to certain security risks. Google it for some more info.
